Final
Oilers go for fourth straight win
Dec 11, 2008 - 11:32 AM Florida (12-12-3) at Edmonton (13-11-2), 9:00 p.m. ESTEDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) -- The Edmonton Oilers will try to match a season-high with their fourth straight win when they host the Florida Panthers on Thursday.
Edmonton won its first four contests of the campaign but has been mired in mediocrity since.
The Oilers are coming off a rare victory at the San Jose Sharks on Saturday, winning in overtime 3-2. The win dropped San Jose's home record to 14-0-2.
Dwayne Roloson made 41 saves and Kyle Brodziak scored the game-winner on the power play at 2:40 left in the extra session. Ales Hemsky also tallied in the win, extending his point streak to eight games.
Florida has won four of five for the first time all season after Monday's 4-3 overtime victory against Ottawa.
Stephen Weiss scored an unassisted tally with 10 seconds left to provide the game-winner.
The Oilers won the only meeting between the teams last season, 4-3, in a shootout.
